Crazy Art Quilt

This week was spent walking around the Brimfield Flea/Antique Market and I got some treasures!! The sequins in the first circle were found on Monday at the vintage textile show in Sturbridge MA. The second table I came to had a this pile of wonderful sequins. They are about 5mm crinkly maroon (although they may look orange in the picture) and I believe they have gold leaf sprinkled on them... I couldn't resist!!!!!! They were just in time to adorn one of the last three circles. I replaced what I had originally done and added them.

Sorry for the lint ... the velvet I used in the squiggles around the circle does a lot of shedding. I also found the pink size 15 faceted steel cut metal beads I used in my chop on Monday. These are the last 3 circles!!!

Retired in 1998 - I live with my wonderful, patient husband Patrick and a 16 year old granddaughter Sabrina. We have 2 cats, a flame point Himalayan named Opie and a part Siamese black rescue cat named Alois. Since 1998 I have progressed from needlepoint to all styles of embroidery including ribbon and stump-work and to couture embroidery using the "Lunéville" hook. I love to give presentations at Quilt Guilds and teach Tambour embroidery.
